"I thought by now you should be working in one of the big companies,but look at you hocking beancake and bread, because back in school you were doing as if you know everything"

This above sentence was made to glory by her class mate blessing who saw hocking by the roadside. Glory explain why life life turn out to be like that for her " weeks later after I finish secondary school my father had an accident and was taken to the hospital,we spent every things we have on his treatment but later he died and ever since then life has turned an ugly face on my family" said glory to her class mate but her class mate laughed at her and she got angry and said to her class mate " I promise you the next time you will see you won't recognize me again " but her class still went on laughing at her and she ran back to her mother's shop crying reaching there her mother ask her what happened and explain everything to her and her mother console her tell her not to cry that God's time is the best.

One day glory and her sister went to the market to sell as usual, they both took different path so to be able to finish their good's on time. Some hours later glory's sister was hit by a car and was rush to the hospital, some people went and called glory at the market telling her what happened and the name of the hospital her sister was admitted,on hearing this she ran to her hospital immediately throwing away her good's on the floor , reaching there the car owner has already went home and ran home and called her mother telling what happened they both went to the hospital and the doctor asked them to deposit the sum of fifty thousand naira (50,000) before they could comment any treatment on her daughter because she was badly injured and was unconscious and her right leg was broken,they beg and beg telling the doctor that they don't have that kind of money but the doctor did not listen to them saying that there is nothing he can do. they went home crying and praying to God.

The next day the man that hit down glory's sister came back to the hospital to see the girl that was hit by his car, on reaching there meet glory and her mother at the hospital and greeted them and introduce himself telling them that his name is David and he was the one that hit down her daughter and glory's mother when she heard that his was the one that hit her daughter started beating him asking him what she did to her.
The man was sorry and he went to the doctors office and deposited some money for the treatment and doctor went to treat her and after the treatment she was till unconscious and was unable to talk.
The doctor ask them to calm down that everything is under control.
She was there for days and one day glory was there singing for her and suddenly she opened her eyes, glory ran out and informed the doctor and mother with the man that hit down his sister and he paid the hospital bill and two days later they was discharged from the hospital and she was given scrunchies for support.
David invited them to his house because his mother ask him to.
When got to David's house his mother welcome them and she apologize on his son behalf and after that she serve them food and drinks, after they finish eating David's mother asked glory's mother why her children was hocking instead of going to school, she narrated everything to her and David's mother had pity on them.
David's mother asked them to start leaving in their house and later she opened a supermarket for glory's mother and sent her sister to school but each time her sister come back from school she complains that her classmates were laughing at her because of her condition but each time she complain glory console her.
Later glory took her jamb and got admitted to the same university with David where she studied medicine.
David grow to like her and he made his intention known to her and she agreed and he later propose to her.
David later opened for her, her own hospital.
One day at her hospital blessing was admitted to her hospital and ran some tests for her to know what was wrong with her and after a couple of days the test results were out and it turned out that she is HIV positive.
She asked her class mate how she contacted the virus and Blessing summon courage and told her that she's a prostitute and later blessing beg her for forgiveness for insulting her by the roadside the other day and she forgave her .

After a year she got married to David and was bless with three children, two girls and a boy.
